"The Washington Animal Rescue League's Love Fund provides funding support for emergency care for seriously injured animals who are abandoned or live with low-income residents in our community who cannot afford the costs of major surgery. Established in 1996, the Love Fund has provided direct financial support for medical care for thousands of dogs and cats within the Washington, DC area. The Love Fund helps the League first consider how best to relieve the suffering and make the animal as healthy as possible, regardless of the cost. This funding is in addition to the several hundreds of dollars the League spends on individual animals for their basic care throughout their stay at our shelter. In some cases, the League has spent as much as $8,000 per individual case to save animals with dire medical needs."

"Our Crisis-Emergency program assists pet owners in emergency situations who do not have the funds for immediate surgery or treatment for their pet. SCHS evaluates each case with the owner and local veterinarians. "First, SCHS gets an estimated cost of treatment for the pet from the local veterinarians.

"Next, an evaluation is performed on the owner's ability to pay expenses. If an owner is unable to repay SCHS in full, we may ask the owner to volunteer to help with fund raisers, community events or give a hand at the SCHS Thrift Shop. Promissory notes & volunteer contracts are utilized to keep track of commitments.

"For more information about this program, please contact S.C.H.S at (541) 412-0325.

Spay Alabama's goal is to end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in Alabama. The program was set into motion by Lynne Fridley of Maddie’s Fund, and Esther Mechler, Founder of SPAY USA. The program provides a single center, a single phone call that accesses all sorts of useful information regarding the various spay/neuter delivery systems, clinics and programs statewide. This means that even people in the poorest, most isolated parts of the state can, with a single (free) phone call, find their nearest affordable spay/neuter program and how to get help. We also identify areas of no service and help get programs started in those areas.A single toll free number will eliminate confusion and runaround. Toll free numbers afford accessibility to everyone, even those without computers. Other developments include new high volume spay/neuter clinics in Birmingham and Montgomery and a spay/neuter car tag program is now accepting orders.

"Pet-owning residents of Macon County who meet the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) definition of low income and qualified fulltime students at Tuskegee University in Macon County may apply to the MCHS for financial assistance for low cost sterilization (“fixing”) of their dogs and cats.

"Financial assistance is based on household income. To qualify, applicants must meet the income limits for Macon County as defined by HUD for 2006. This means that financial assistance will be provided to those pet owners whose household incomes fit HUD’s definition of “30% of median, very low, and low.”

"Pet owners with proof of having Class A income will pay $5 for each pet’s surgery and pre-operative work-up; Class B income will pay $15 for the first two pets and $5 for each additional pet; and Class C income will pay $25 for their first two pets and $5 for each additional pet.

"Because of the nature of our assistance and the sheer volume of requests we receive daily, all those seeking veterinary medical help must call personally and speak with our medical helpline counselor at the number listed above during the hours posted. Do not e-mail or fax as this will delay a response. There are two lines available, and so if you receive a busy signal or no one answers the line, the counselor is busy with other callers. You must be patient and keep trying until your call is answered. With the economic downturn of recent months, we are receiving more calls than we can handle in a day. We understand that this may be frustrating, but we are endeavoring to help as many people as we can.

"If your pet is in need of immediate veterinary care where any delay will put the animal at risk, it is your responsibility and duty to take the animal to the veterinarian. Do not wait to talk with our counselor and please be aware that by doing so there is no guarantee that we will be able to provide you with any financial assistance. Your pet’s health must take priority.

"If you qualify for assistance, your pet must be spayed/neutered or you must agree to have the animal sterilized at the time you seek medical attention. We will help you pay for the spay/neuter in addition to the medical assistance.

"If you qualify for assistance, you will be directed to a low-cost veterinarian in your area who has agreed to work with us to offer lower costs, and provided with a financial pledge to help pay for the procedure."

Volunteers provide daily food for several cat colonies living in a large county park encompassing several hundred acres. Feral cats are trapped, tested, vaccinated, altered and returned to their colonies. Abandoned cats are given a thorough medical exam, tested, altered and put up for adoption as often as foster care can be found. To date, several hundred animals have been saved and are now in forever indoor homes. Over 75 cans of cat food and 10 bags of dry food are used weekly in this program. Money raised comes through fundraising, grants and donations.

Spay Today Voucher programs

These programs help low-income and senior citizens with the price of altering. As money permits, caretakers are given help with the cost of altering colony cats. Yearly, the organization spends thousands of dollars in efforts to curtail the cat overpopulation. Monies for these programs are raised though donations, fundraising and grant writing.

If you have a cat or dog in need of a non-orthopedic surgical procedure, please contact us at the phone number above to speak with a technician about setting up an appointment. To qualify, the family bringing in its pet must have a total household income of less than $40,000 per year, and the pet either be already sterilized, or be sterilized at the time of the surgery.

Pets provide comfort during tough times, so it is important now more than ever to help people keep their pets so they don't have to storm the tragedy of losing their home and/or job alone.

Our mission is to help provide food for the pets, to keep food on the table for people. We offer continuous food assistance to pets in the Colorado Springs/El Paso County area and emergency pet food services to the state of Colorado.

We are advocates for spaying and neutering pets and the humane treatment of all beings, including humans. We work with several local food pantries, churches, human services agencies, animal rescues, and the animal shelter in an attempt to reach those most in need. Our services include:

Established in 1990, Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital provides donor-subsidized veterinary services for pets owned by economically disadvantaged families and individuals. In 2008, Harrison Memorial medical staff provided veterinary care to more than 12,000 sick and injured animals. Harrison Memorial also provides spay/neuter surgeries to the community to help control pet overpopulation, as well as providing discounted spay/neuter surgeries to homeless animals in the care of rescue groups.

Often, individuals without any economic resources seek veterinary care for their animals at Harrison Memorial. To help alleviate turning away any suffering animal, a Mercy Fund has been established. The fund provides fully subsidized veterinary care for animals whose owners have no economic resources to pay for veterinary care.

Harrison Memorial’s Angel Fund allows compassionate individuals to care for their pets even when they cannot afford to do so. The Angel Fund is made possible by donations from caring individuals such as yourself to provide needed veterinary care for pets of those less fortunate.

Cat Care Society’s on-site veterinary clinic is dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation by committing a larger share of the funds we spend on homeless cats to programs that prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place. We provide spays, neuters and veterinary care for cats. We offer subsidized services for qualifying low-income clients.

The Fox Memorial Clinic is a full service veterinary practice which provides veterinary care for animals whose owners are in financial need. Fox Memorial provides veterinary services on a fee-for-service basis to the public. Incorporated on April 15, 1999, Fox Memorial operated with the following purposes:

1. To protect animals from disease and abuse by providing services that deliver preventative health care and other needed veterinary treatment.

2. To promote responsible pet ownership and proper pet care through public education programs including vaccination clinics, public service campaigns, educational materials and professional guidance.

At Forgotten Cats, our mission is to reduce the unwanted cat population without killing and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.

We do this by working with colony caretakers to trap, sterilize, vaccinate, and return every cat within a colony. We provide the necessary medical treatment for sick or injured feral cats, stray cats, and kittens. We are working to find homes for adoptable cats and kittens. We also provide education about spay neuter, and we are assisting other cat rescue groups with trap, neuter, and return programs.

The Washington Animal Rescue League opened its Medical Center in 1996 to treat shelter animals and provide full-service, low-cost veterinary care to the pets of low-income neighbors. It sees nearly 7,000 dogs and cats each year.

Vaccinations for rabies, canine distemper/parvovirus (DHPP), feline "distemper" (FVRCP), canine bordatella (“kennel cough”), and feline leukemia cost $10 each. No appointments are necessary and there is no limit as to how many animals an individual can bring to the clinic. Microchips are also available for $25.

Who Can Use the Medical Center?

WHO IS ST. FRANCIS ANIMAL HOSPITAL FOR? St. Francis Animal Hospital is for everybody. By that, we mean that we want to include all pet owners, regardless of their financial situation. We want to help take care of the pets whose owners are financially disadvantaged. Ultimately we want to be able to help provide subsidized medical care for pets whose owners otherwise could not afford it. However, we don't want to exclude pet owners who have their own financial means. Pet owners who have financial means can enjoy our reasonably priced care and via their patronage can help support us in fulfilling our purpose.

WHO QUALIFIES FOR SUBSIDIZED SERVICES? When we are able to start providing subsidized services, there will be a partial subsidy for those with low income qualifications based on their household income and or proof of government assistance. There will be an even greater subsidy offered for those with the most extreme demonstrable financial circumstances.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DO WE PROVIDE? We provide preventative health care services.

We currently have multiple service, the foodbank for which we do charge a fee and vaccinations, heart worm medication and flea medication which are free. The amount a client pays is based on an objective numerical analysis of a client’s income and expenses. A prospective client’s low income status is confirmed by having a client fill out an extensive financial profile demonstrating their level of income and expenses. At intake, a client verifies their income by showing an intake staff person their SSD/SSI check stub, or bank statement with the SSD/SSI deposit on it; a paycheck stub; an affidavit that they are unemployed and have no other source of income, etc.

Clients living at or below poverty level, according to the Federal Poverty Guidelines, automatically receive a 90% subsidy (the highest subsidy we offer).

The cost to the client is then determined by the food choices, he or she makes, multiplied by the food subsidy factor. Before a client comes on line, they sign and return a copy of the explanation of their subsidy and cost and pick-up schedule.

Program Name Life-Savers Financial assistance for indigent animals with life-threatening medical emergencies.

Vision It is the goal of LifeSavers that no companion animal should ever have to suffer in pain or die because their caretaker does not have the funds available to get the necessary veterinary care to save its’ life.

Mission The mission of LifeSavers is to provide financial assistance for animals suffering from life-threatening conditions that require specific and immediate veterinary care.

Owners who are struggling financially are faced with a difficult decision that often results in the pet being “put to sleep” for an otherwise treatable condition.

Summary The LifeSaver Fund will provide financial assistance to indigent owners of animals in need of life-saving medical assistance. The LifeSaver program empowers veterinarians to treat animals in need and receive just compensation for their professional skills. Veterinarians decide who is eligible and who will receive a grant under program guidelines. Final grant approval verifies that funds are available and allocated to cover treatment cost.

Note--the lifesavers.com link is not working but the program is still very much active:
